Flapper Hairstyles: Return of the Flapper
It is to this decade that we owe the automobile, Jazz age music, short skirts, Although the flapper lifestyle ended when the economy crashed and the Great Depression curtailed the Roaring Twenties and so too the night life, the freedoms tasted were not so easily given up. Personally I am thrilled as I have always loved the luxurious glamour of the era where young women were liberated after the war with the knowledge that life is short and what time they had should be spent enjoying themselves, not staying home waiting to marry a man who may never arrive. In addition to this you can now find sleeker more delicate hair accessories to match such as Anna Sui’s butterfly band from her fall collection. Designers such as Karen Millen and Paul & Joe have both launched their own take on the instantly recognisable Flapper Dress using straight cut silhouettes, creating a bit of sex appeal with a short hem and tassling.
